incredible incredible book about horror and monsters and our bodies and why we’re so fascinated with the monstrous form and how monsters are inherently queer. literally my sacred text.

one of my recurring special interests is monster theory, the resurgence of monsters in pop culture and how monsters or superhuman/unnatural figures in pop culture represent deeper existential fears that are at the forefront at the time.
right now deeply into the resurgence of vampires, witches as a way to process deeper fears of exploitation, growing wealth inequality, anger towards capitalistic/colonialist structures, and a lack of personal agency or control over these things + a fascination with community, nature, intellectualism, ritual and spirituality.
anyway, for real, go down this rabbit hole. it is fascinating.
